This document outlines the steps required to protect Cisco ASA 5500 (AnyConnect VPN) with Celestix HOTPin two-factor authentication. The following steps are detailed within this guide: Adding users Enabling user self provisioning Configuring RADIUS integration in Cisco Adding Cisco as a RADIUS client in Celestix HOTPin Testing the login process Steps to Configure Standalone Celestix HOTPin v3.5 Prerequisites This document assumes you have followed the steps in the HOTPin Quick Start Guide, and either installed HOTPin Server v3.5, or configured your HSA Appliance ready for use. If you haven't already done so, please refer to the Quick Start Guide to complete this before proceeding. The Quick Start Guide can be found here: http://www.celestix.com/hotpin-tl.html Step 1: Launch HOTPin Administration Launch the HOTPin Management GUI using the shortcut icon on the desktop. This will load the default web browser. HOTPin ships with a default certificate to provide HTTPS security. The browser will display a certificate security warning, this is normal, choose Continue to this website. Microsoft Windows User Access Control will prompt for a username and password. Enter the administrator credentials. NOTE - depending on the web browser and the default settings, the message might be slightly different. Step 2: Adding users To add users go to HOTPin > Users. Click on New. Complete the user settings for an end user. Token Key: (none) Client Software (default) PIN: User will create PIN For production and full installation we recommend you make use of the Active Directory import feature within HOTPin, and then enable Active Directory Synchronization. This can be achieved easily and simply through the main Management GUI.
Step 3: Configure the user provisioning website From the main Management GUI, go to User Website and tick the Enable user website box. This will allow your users to provision a variety of tokens by accessing a user provisioning portal, but it is important to configure this in advance of giving access. Once enabled, default access to the site is: https://(appliancehostname IP):8098/hotpin/ This site is not enabled by default; it must be turned on by Administrators. At this point, the basic configuration for Celestix HOTPin is complete, and we'll return to the User Provisioning Website later. Configure RADIUS integration in Cisco Step 4: Add an Authentication Server Open up ADSM. Select Configuration (top left button) Select Remote Access VPN Select AAA / Local Users Select AAA server groups Click Add Give the group a name (for example HOTPIN ) Choose RADIUS as the protocol. (Other settings can be left as default).
Add the HOTPin server into the AAA Server Group. Click Add in the bottom half of the screen. Enter HOTPin server details. Ensure the port numbers and server secret key are correct. Step 5: Configure AnyConnect Connection profile Select HOTPin server group as the AAA authentication server. Complete the rest of the profile as the environment dictates. Step 6: Enabling RADIUS client on Celestix HOTPin Go to HOTPin > NPS Radius > RADIUS clients > New. Tick Enable this RADIUS client. Enter name and IP address of the Cisco box. Apply shared secret. This completes the integration process. Next we ll test the login process. Testing the login process Celestix HOTPin supports the following platforms for generating a one-time password. Generate a one-time password using any of the client software below. Microsoft Windows Android devices MacOS Windows phone devices ios devices (iphones and ipads) Blackberry devices.
Step 7: Log on to end user provisioning website. Go to User Website and click on the link for example this URL https://(appliancehostname IP):8098/hotpin/ After you have downloaded the HOTPin app to your Smart Device, log on to the end user provisioning site with your Active Directory credentials. Step 8: Create Token Key Go to Token Key > QR Code. Enter QR code passphrase: Create a passphrase of at least 6 characters. Confirm passphrase. Code size: Select the image size. Generate QR Code: Click to create the image. Open the HOTPin app on your smart device. Choose Import from QR Code. Scan the QR Code. Enter the passphrase. Click on Import (IPhone) or OK with Android). You are now able to generate a one time password and this completes the one time device provisioning process. Log on back to the user provisioning website and choose HOTPin to authenticate. Further Help For further help, go to http://www.celestix.com
